move it 2 the rite
THREE because there are three zeros in 1000. Power or 10's dude. Powers of 10.
moving the decimal 3 place to the right 1000 have 3 zeros.

Move the decimal point three places to the right.
As you are multiplying by 1000, move the decimal point three digits to the right (inserting zeros as necessary). The kilo- prefix means 1000. Thus 1 km = 1000 m. So to convert from km to m, multiply by 1000. When multiplying by a power of 10, move the decimal point the same number of digits as zeros in the power to the right. 1000 has three zeros, so move the decimal point three digits to the right (inserting zeros if necessarily).
Three. Count number of zeros. If multiply decimal by 100 move decimal point 2 places, etc.

You move the decimal point three places to the left - inserting zeros, if required.

Exactly what you have when you just move the decimal point three places to the right from where it originally is.
It moves three places to the right.
Multiply by 1000 or move the decimal three places to the right.
Count the numbers of places after the decimal, divide the decimal value by 1 followed by the as many zeros as there are places after the decimal. Easier to do than to say For example 0.53 = 53/100 0.534 = 534/1000 0.5342 = 5342/1000
